Personally appeared before me the undersigned a Notary Public for the State of New Hampshire John Ea- ton who being duly sworn deposeth and saith that he is the identical John Eaton who on the 2 day of August 1832 before the Hon. Court of Probate for the County of Sullivan made a Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of June 7 1832 for Revolutionary services wherein he stated that on the last of June or first of July 1780 he enlisted for six months in Capt Moses Dustin's company of Col George Read's N.H. Regiment and served accordingly. He now further saith in the performance all that was required of him in fulfillment of his engagement but is not confident but that he and some other enlistments of said company were terminated and received their discharges some few days before the six months had fully expired - that he had at the time of leaving the service a written discharge signed by Col Read for his six months service, which has since been destroyed by the burning of his mother's house -
The said John Eaton further saith on oath that in making his Declaration aforesaid he omitted to state a portion of the service he rendered the country, not be- ing that he would be entitled to allowance for it - to wit three weeks as a substitute for one Isaac Worthen as a private in Capt Hall's company of Inf'ty of Col Peabody's N.H. Regiment - that this service he performed at the latter part of April or first part of May 1779 and performed at Portsmouth N.H.

George Bryant of Plainfield New Hampshire do hereby say that it is as follows when the above named John Eaton made his declaration before the Hon. Judge Sumner on the 7 th day of August 1832 - That after his papers had been sent to Washington by Mr. Hubbard before he had had any return from the War Department he stated to me that he had omitted to mention a part of his services in his said declaration not knowing that it would be of any use to him as he desired it substitute for another man - This after declaration I just believe as the said Eaton is now of the same mind of truth -
